Railroaders, Cards
Meet For 27th Time
Friday Series Tied
The scholastic football season officially opens tomorrow
night, Friday, September 24th, starting at 8:15 p. m. at
Shaw Stadium.
At least that is the way the folks in East and Northeast
Cleveland look at as the Cardinals of Shaw and the Rail
roaders of Collinwood are set.
Any action on the football front
previous to tomorrow’s neighbor
hood classic was strictly “for prac
tice” according to local observers.
As has been proven almost annual
ly since 1927 anything can hap
pen and does when Shaw and
Collinwood get-to-gether on the
gridiron. This long standing series
was interuptedly once, in 1929, and
tomorrow you could almost say
“they’re starting from scratch”,
to tangle for the 27th time.
tories apiece with two games end
ing in ties in the series.
The 1953 victory also gave the
Cardinals the first leg on the Ki
wanis Trophy put up by the Ki
wanis Clubs of East and Northeast
Cleveland. The team winning three
games, not necessarily in succes
sion, w’ill gain permanent posses
sion of the trophy and then a new
one will be put in competition.
Coach Bob McGraw’s charges
didn’t waste anytime in reaching
pay dirt in last Friday’s skirmish
with West as they tallied 20 points
in the first quarter and then coast
ed to a 40-20 decision. The one
sided contest gave Coach McGraw
an opportunity to clear the bench
and to see his regulars and re
serves in game action.
Collinwood’s coach Charley
Hofelich wasn’t unhappy about his
team’s 27-13 defeat at Warren in
their opener, satisfied that his boys
battled the state title contenders
evenly for almost three quarters.
The Railroaders are not a big team
and lack experience but they are
eager with plenty of spirit and
determination.
Fans of both schools are warned
that seats will be at a premium
since the Shaw Stadium capacity
has been reduced due to repairs
^underway on the East stands.
Better get your tickets early if
you w’ant to watch your favorites
in action tomorrow night at Shaw
Stadium.

Dont Be A
"Somebody"
For A Fire
If, in the next few moments,
your house should catch fire,
chances are somebody was careless
with a match or cigarette.
“These firebug ‘somebodies,* says
Fire Chief Fred W. Lange,” can be
blamed for one out of every three
home fires in East Cleveland dur
ing 1954.
“They’re the folks who unthink
ingly toss away lighted cigarettes
and matches they kill themselves
smoking in bed and don’t give a
hoot if their kids play with
matches.
But they are only the worst of
the three home firebugs who start
over 70 per cent of our home fires,
according to Chief Lange.
Here’s how he would grade the
other two
Cleveland
causes:
on the basis of East
records of home fire
2 the electrical wizard
Number
—who dotes on frayed cords, over
loaded circuits, misused appliances
and thinks 15-ampere safety fuses
are for sissies. He causes one of
every four home fires.
Home firebug No. 3 performs his
truck with rubbish, hot ashes and
coals puts them fresh from the
stove or furnace into wooden and
cardboard containers, or dumps
them on the basement floor next
to wooden walls, old newspapers
and rubbish. He accounts for one
of every eight home fires.
“How do you stop these home
firebugs?” Chief Lange answers:
“One of the best ways is to
have your home inspected for fire
hazards by experts your fire
men help you spot and correct
conditions which could cause a
fire in your home.”
Urging everyone’s cooperation in
the East Cleveland Home Fire In
spection Program, the Chief
pointed out that the International
Association of Fire Chiefs is spon
soring a nation-wide campaign for
just such home inspections as the
most effective means for cutting
the terrible toll of fire deaths
among children.
“In East Cleveland we have had
a decrease in dwelling fires since
1951 when our home inspection
program was inaugurated. We ap
preciate the community coopera
tion, but, there still are many
people who do not believe that
they can be the one to cause a
fire by their carelessness.
“The offender we find on the
increase in East Cleveland is the
misuse of electricity it seems
everyone feels they are enough of
an electrician to install an addi
tional baseplug or socket in their
home. They do not realize that
each size wire was made to carry
only so much electrical energy
without becoming overheated and
causing a fire. When you install
additional outlets for electrical
equipment and appliances, you
very likely are overloading the
circuit to which these outlets have
been attached, and qquite probably
the fuse will blow when this hap
pens, the person who does not
realize the danger of so doing,
most generally inserts the next
size larger fuse. This process is
continued until the overloaded cir
cuit rebels with a fire.
“My advice is that, unless quali
fied, you should not fool with elec
tricity any more than you might
fool with dynamite. Failure to use
care with either may cause you to
lose your life and also that of
someone near and dear to you.
“Our main desire in
spections is to get the
the community to feel
of fire safety the year
is your life and property we are
trying to protect please help
us give 'us your cooperation.**
The fire department will start
on this campaign next Monday,
September 27th. One-third of the
homes in East Cleveland will be
visited during 1954 by a uniformed
fireman. The fire truck on the
street will be in constant communi
cation by. rad io with headquarters.
If a fire should occur, the fire
company will immediately be dis
patched to the scene of the blaze.
“Your fire department will do
its best to protect your life and
property will you do the same?”

of Windermere. A No. 6 local bet
ween Windermere and the public
square accommodates passengers
who can easier reach their destina
tion via that line.
The proposal to terminate the
express service comes from an at
tempt to carry all downtown pas
sengers on the rapid service. How
ever, the city commission is of the
opinion that there are too many
passengers who cannot be best
served with rapid, and that an
express service along Euclid ave.
is still necessary.
Since the start of the rapid pro
gram there have been many con
flicting announcements as to the
type of service to be in force when
that line is in operation.
According to the most recent
CTS announcement relative to the
Hayden and east of Windermere

become merely feeders for the

Windermere.
However, Heights express lines,
it is stated, will continue to oper

The “probable” end of express
service along Hayden and Euclid

the affected suburbs. They have
called for a conference with CTS
before any decision is reached on
the score. The Rapid, it appears
as announcements trickle through,
is going to do a lot of things
to public transportation not alto
gether desireable to riders, despite
the advantage of a quick ride
